I thought the DisDads might appreciate what I did on Friday night......
I got wind of a pop-up bar event that was being held on Friday night. As pop-up bars go, it was a very unusual venue. As Aussies go, it was par for the course. The venue was the Old Melbourne Gaol (or jail). This country did start out as a convict settlement, afterall.
So, among the death masks,
salubrious cell conditions....
and 'toys'.....
It was a party atmosphere.
And what was this pop up bar in aid of? Yup. Not beer. Whiskey!
As part of my entry ticket, I had vouchers for two tastings. I decided to go with the unusual Japanese whiskey. I had no idea that the Japanese made whiskey!
I almost went with another whiskey for my second voucher but as I was driving home, I decided to go with a cocktail instead. This was the Cosmopolitan that tasted like fizzy lime cordial after the whiskey. I'm pretty sure that there was some alcohol in it....I just couldn't taste it after that whiskey shot. *hic*
I also got a food voucher, which I cashed in almost straightaway. I needed some oil intake as a buffer against the alcohol. I haven't met a fried chicken that I didn't like....
And because I was driving home, I decided to have some Creole shrimp and cheese grits with the Cosmo.
It really was a very pleasant way to spend Friday night. Especially when serenaded by a Jazz duo; set up where the scaffold was.
Cheers!
